    D&D General When We Were Wizards: Review of the Completed Podcast!

    The Podcast makes it very clear she directly orchestrated a secret takeover of the company, using directly nefarious means to trick Gary into a meeting under false pretenses. She used dubious interpretations of company policy to engage in multiple secret stock purchases, one of which very likely...

    D&D 5E (2024) I attack the darkness!

    Not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but for 5.24 this is incorrect. Unless the spell specifies you cannot see in that darkness (which the Darkness spell does specify), darkvision can now see in magical darkness.

    Wizards of the Coast Is Sunsetting Sigil's Active Development

    Talespin is SO GOOD right now and getting better. Highly recommend it.

    D&D 5E (2014) Arcane Recovery strategy

    It absolutely depends on how many slots you find you're using for the Shield spell. If you're not needing that very often, it's the 4th level slot. If I am, it's at least some if not all the first level slots.

    D&D 5E (2024) Sage Advice Compendium Updated To 2024

    4e went through like 4 different variations over the course of the publishing history before they finally landed on that one. I agree it's better than this, but it sure didn't feel like a "fine" process at the time when they updated the friggen rule multiple times in a matter of weeks. I think...

    Wizards of the Coast Says That China Tariffs Will Have Minimal Impact on D&D

    Following up on the prior India topic. Funskool is a board game manufacturer out of India. They make some Hasbro board games, Asmodee games, etc.. For example, they currently produce Catan. I expect we'll see some board game companies moving some production to them. Aequs out of India is also...

    Wizards of the Coast Says That China Tariffs Will Have Minimal Impact on D&D

    My company did just buy something at the 145% tariff level but it's a pretty absurd level. This particular thing is an exception for us. It cost's $2 and sells for $14. So costing now $4.9 is still fine, though the majority of our expenses are not in the product cost itself but in the overhead...

    Wizards of the Coast Says That China Tariffs Will Have Minimal Impact on D&D

    Clint that's not even the post you quoted or that I called rude! You quoted "Do you have an example of a miniatures or boardgames company that does their plastic mini/component manufacturing in India?" The rest of that paragraph, which you didn't quote, was "A link would be useful. Or is that...

    Wizards of the Coast Says That China Tariffs Will Have Minimal Impact on D&D

    It's not. I made a minor comment based on experience about a side topic not even about RPGs. If you don't want to believe me or look into it yourself, even when given a search engine just for that, that's perfectly fine. We're not in a court of law. As for why it was a rude reply, the fact you...

    D&D 5E (2014) Which was the most recent Wizards adventure you consider a classic?

    We only play 2 hours a week, and have a hiatus when our DM goes to Burning Man for a about 6 weeks.

    If parts (but not the majority) are made somewhere else? No.

    I could dig one up for you, but you're being rude for no reason so you can google it yourself. You probably can find several on Business Directory, India Business Directory,Companies Directory in India

    Wizards of the Coast Says That China Tariffs Will Have Minimal Impact on D&D

    Pretty sure that would be proprietary information if it's information I had. I do believe there are numerous companies in India doing it now. It's not necessarily for the American market right now.

    Wizards of the Coast Says That China Tariffs Will Have Minimal Impact on D&D

    Not quite yet on the port stalling out part. We're at the tail end of the 20% additional tariff right now at the Los Angeles port (my last shipment arrived 3 days ago at that rate). New York lags a couple weeks behind Los Angeles. The rate is set when the shipment leaves China and books a...

    Wizards of the Coast Says That China Tariffs Will Have Minimal Impact on D&D

    There are other nations capable of making most of the products we're discussing. India for example does plastic injection molding as well as China, and has capacity in its factories. I suspect it won't come to that, as I am hearing out of China they expect the rate to go down to 35% for...

    D&D 5E (2014) According to the Hasbro Q1 earning call D&D sales are up substantially.

    I just checked ebay prices on the alt covers and woah! I had no idea! Damn, I am tempted to sell my set and just buy the regular covers, and some comics with the profits :)

    Wizards of the Coast Says That China Tariffs Will Have Minimal Impact on D&D

    You might also be a biased speaker on this topic. I am too. I think calling people dumb for their bias disagreeing with our bias is probably at best unproductive.

    D&D Errata Nerfs Conjuring Spells, Makes Other Changes

    Yes. That's why I mentioned it. I think so. But she rolls with it because we're in a phase of this adventure which requires a whole lot of it. True. It's rarely boring.
